Dodgers' Power Surge Seals Win Over Mariners

The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Seattle Mariners 6-2 on Thursday night, powered by key home runs. Dalton Rushing hit a decisive three-run homer, extending the Dodgers' lead to 5-0 in the fourth inning. Teoscar Hernández also contributed with a solo home run in the sixth, further solidifying the Dodgers' advantage.

Dodgers starter Roki Sasaki delivered a strong performance through the first five innings, allowing only two hits. He navigated a rocky sixth inning, giving up two runs before reliever Jack Dreyer closed the door on a Mariners rally. Mookie Betts opened the scoring with a two-run double in the first inning.

The Mariners' road struggles continued as they fell to 23-33 away from home. Their offense, which had hit five home runs in the series opener, could not overcome the Dodgers' pitching and timely hitting in the finale. Seattle starter Bryan Woo allowed five runs and five hits over five innings.
